Spring Specials at Georgia State Parks

If you're still pondering Spring Break plans or just want to take a couple of days to play, check out the great specials being offered at five Georgia State Park lodges. Amicalola Falls, Unicoi, Red Top Mountain, George T. Bagby and Little Ocmulgee state parks recently announced great lodge room rates for weeknight stays during the month of April.

All five parks offer great fishing and fine settings for family-friendly trips. Amicalola and Unicoi both feature stocked trout waters with easy bank access. Red Top Mountain and George T. Bagby, meanwhile, offer both boating and bank access to major reservoirs and fine fishing for everything from bluegills to channel catfish to bass. At Unicoi and Little Ocmulgee visitors can rent boats to fish smaller waters. The lake at Little Ocmulgee is currently closed to power boats because of extensive aquatic vegetation, but that's not all bad for anglers seeking bass or bream from the bank or from small paddle-powered boats.

Beyond the fishing, opportunities for family play range from hiking a really cool top-to-bottom, step-system trail beside the highest waterfall in the eastern United States (Amicalola Falls) to exploring the Alpine village of Helen near Unicoi to possibly spotting indigo snakes and gopher tortoises at Little Ocmulgee.

For reservations, call (800) 864-7275.
